2022 WNBA Draft Profiles: Could Elissa Cunane, be a sleeper pick for the Mystics at No. 1?

There are endless possibilities...endless scenarios...endless outcomes. In other words, anything can happen when you have the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft. Better yet, anything is possible and can happen when General Manager and Head Coach of the Washington Mystics, Mike Thibault, has the first overall pick this year.

Take for example the 2017 WNBA Draft. Based on the previous season, the Mystics obtained the second overall pick and traded it along with Kahleah Copper and Stefanie Dolson to the Chicago Sky for Elena Delle Donne. The trade proved successful as both teams managed to become champions a few years down the line (Mystics in 2019 and Sky in 2021).
